From the information I know, Missouri S&T, through its CEC, offers a unique and exciting opportunity. The CEC size, demography, breadth and quality of its educational and research programs, expertise of its faculty and diversity of its student population are key distinguishing features. To sustain and strengthen its leadership position as one of the largest engineering and computing colleges in the country, CEC needs to continue to support its existing successful programs and enhance its teaching and research mission and activities. For instance, research has shown that students from different backgrounds resonate more with certain engineering topics when their societal or humanitarian impact is emphasized, prefer non-traditional educational …show more content…
CEC’s nine departments cover almost all key engineering fields of interest to modern society, industry, economy and national security. The integration of engineering and computing activities in one college offers tremendous opportunity for CEC to address critical challenges in areas of national and international importance, such as manufacturing and automation, 3-D printing, cybersecurity, internet of things, and large sensor networks, to name just a few. The size and breadth of CEC make it feasible to offer advanced programs in such specialized areas and position itself as one of the most innovative and leading colleges in the country. This will dramatically enhance CEC’s national reputation as a premier engineering college and advance it to the top 50 engineering programs in U.S. Moreover, CEC can leverage size and breadth of its programs to demonstrate its strong commitment to diversifying the workforce in America and increasing the number of engineers from underrepresented groups. This enables CEC to present itself as a major contributor to broadening participation in engineering and computing which has been a national challenge for many
During this time, I was a staunch advocate and facilitator for the Advancing Minorities Interest in Engineering. During this time, every summer, I would take on 2-5 engineering students that were attending HBCU. I would provide them exposure to what engineers do overseas, help them network with other engineers, as well as provide them exposure to construction activities. By being a champion for this program, I have created lasting relationships, which I have been able to leverage to create opportunities for other young aspiring

The state does not have sufficient support to suspend the licenses of Mr. Jones and Mr. Roberts.
The United States Supreme Court issued a plurality opinion in the case of Missouri v. Seibert. This means that no single opinion was supported by the majority of the court, but the plurality opinion had more support than any other opinion. The plurality opinion was supported by four of the Supreme Court Justices. The plurality opinion affirmed the position of the Missouri Supreme Court stating that a post-warning statement should not be admissible.
Two specific groups that I identify with as part of my decision to attend Columbia Southern University is based on my family and work. As an individual my choice to attend is based on my own desire to achieve a higher education in order to obtain a job that is satisfactory to the life and goals I have mapped out for myself. By having a job for which I have specifically attended school for, it will allow me to get and sustain a career conducive to my own happiness and prosperity. While my own individual choice to attend school is great, I have a family that encouraged me greatly in this decision. Both my mother and father, between the two, have a Master’s degree in criminal justice, and a Bachelor's degree in paramedic studies. Naturally
In St. Louis, one in two black children, opposed to one in 25 white children, attend a school that is non-accredited. This means that the school performs so poorly that they don’t meet basic standards to provide students the opportunity for academic success. After her school was stripped of its accreditation, Mah’Ria was bused to a different school district, one that valued students more than the Normandy school district did. Mah’Ria is a high-performing student who desperately wanted a better education, but was denied that right based on where she lived. Not only were classes too easy and the teacher’s incompetent, but also the school as a whole was disorganized. For students like Mah’Ria, low-quality schools have a negative impact on them and begin to discourage them from even trying to create a different life path, because

Clark Atlanta University is the institution that will allocate the resources I need to be successful as a leader in the future. Over the years, family members, friends, mentors, teachers, and advisors have implemented tools into my educational career to get me to this point in my life. As I transition into a freshman in college, it is now my job to use the tools CAU will give to me to make a change. Through the Dual Degree Engineering Program, I will be able to study Architectural Engineering. Consistent studies and research will give me the insight I need to impact and change the social environments around me. The trust I put in the university’s faculty and procedures will allow me to flourish into an excellent leader and role model that will make a positive influence on the environment of the campus and off campus.
All over social media, especially Twitter, the Missouri State football team announced that they would not play in any further games until the current President Tim Wolfe was to resign or be fired. The situation sounds harsh but the reason for it is there has been racism around the campus and no one is doing a thing about it. This protest has made a huge impact and attention to the school as well as the President. I believe that what they were doing as a team was very powerful. If I were the president I would have done things a little differently.
“Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education,” as the outstanding author, Mark Twain, once said. College is the way of life and why people begin successful career paths every day. Joining college is a major step in becoming an adult and beginning a new chapter in one’s life. Universities all around the nation offer terrific programs that match the interests of everyone. The University of Missouri, also known as Mizzou, would be a terrific college to attend for a quality education. It provides a variety of different fields to study, it offers an excellent education at a fair price, and has amazing organizations for students to join in a beautiful location.
Just when time seems to start slowing down, it proves just how much faster it can go. College can be a happy, scary, thrilling place. It all depends on how people make it; college will treat someone the way they treat college. Forget to turn papers in on time? Life in college becomes a little more stressful, although staying on top of things is not hard when the school is a fun place to be. When people speak of school, they make it sound horrible and a pain. However, school does not have to be a weight on the shoulders for anyone. Somewhere at sometime it was said that college was supposed to be the prime time of life. There is a freedom that people finally have when they get to college, and legally
“[Justice] is normally put into the painful category, of goods which we pursue for the rewards they bring and in the hope of a good reputation, but which in themselves are to be avoided as unpleasant” [443c]. According to Plato, justice is a way of life where there are two types of falsehoods that both play a role in creating and maintaining justice. The distinction he makes between beneficial and improper lies is that a beneficial lie is justifiable because it is for the greater good of keeping justice in society; an improper lie is one that has a negative effect even though it is attempting to create justice. To uphold a “just city,” Plato believes justice highly depends upon the state propagation of these falsehoods through limiting the
Researching and learning about the events that unfolded during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans was a pleasant experience. After reading the exert, Five Days at Memorial, I was truly enlightening. As a healthcare team member, I never considered what I personally would do in the event I needed to provide care to individuals during a disaster. Furthermore, I never considered the level of preparedness of my current workplace. As a direct result of my research, I had a discussion with the administration of my current workplace. Our safety team is currently revising our current disaster plan to include an evacuation plan. I am grateful that this was able to occur prior to a disaster situation happening.

The college is known for its Football and have been in the top 20 in the rankings since the appointment of legendary Bo Pitterno in 2001 as the Head coach for the team. The coach requested to upgrade the stadium or construct a new stadium to accommodate the large fan base. This request was heard by the SWU’s president, Dr Joel Wisner, who decided that they would upgrade the stadium based on a forecast of when the current stadium would max out.
Karl Marx poses an argument in which religion is a manmade invention meant for their happiness and consolation in his Critique of Religious Belief. Marx details the various ways in which religion seems to be the foundation upon which humanity and all of mankind is based off of, and near the end of the passage, he criticizes mankind for drinking from the nectar of the imaginary flower of religion when they should be focusing on the reality that is man. This entire argument, consequently, begs the question of what this reality of human happiness Marx is talking about here. Marx has just completed fending off a counterargument off the necessity of religion by upholding this new standard of happiness. Yet if Marx is not able to explain this happiness
